Peanuts and Crackerjack is a 6% ABV Porter from The Mitten Brewing Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan and it always reminds me that spring is here and baseball is right around the corner. This is the second year that Peanuts and Crackerjack has made it into production, but will this one be a strike out, or will it be the grand salami? The way this one is going, momma better make some more of that moist cake!

Barney Blood is a 7.2% Milkshake IPA brewed with strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, lactose and vanilla beans from our friends at Short’s Brewery in Bellaire, Michigan.
